Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 05, 2014

Electric Roots is a short film series that explores the deep origins of Techno music from its Detroit birthplace to parts known and unknown all over the world. The first episode, “South Africa,” featuring superstar DJ/producers Black Coffee and Richie Hawtin, will make its debut at the 22nd annual Pan African Film & Arts Festival during Black History Month.

“We take you deep into the House and Techno scene of South Africa, and with the help of some of the biggest in the business, we make connections going all the way back to the music made in my hometown of Detroit in the early 80’s,” explains writer/director Kristian R. Hill.

Most recently, Mr. Hill received top accolades with an NAACP Awards nomination for Postcards: Mandela, a special feature that recently aired on the Africa Channel.

Producers invite you to attend the official premier of Electric Roots (Runtime: 30 minutes) Friday, February 14th, at 1:00 pm at the Rave Cinema at Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, 3650 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. LA, CA 90008.
